Climate Changes with Latitude. Places located at high latitudes (far from the equator) receive less sunlight than places at low latitudes (close to the equator). The amount of sunlight and the amount of precipitation affects the types of plants and animals that can live in a place

Answer:

Latitudes affect the climate by receiving different amount of sunlight and wind.

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitude may be defined as the angular distance of the north and south of the earth's equator.

Places present at high latitude receives less sunlight and have cold climate. Places present at low latitude receives large amount of sunlight and have warm climate.

Thus, the latitude affects the climate of an area.
